Our research mission is to produce knowledge that fosters a better understanding of global problems. Located in Geneva, the Institute intensely engages with international organizations, NGOs and multinational companies, participating in global discussions and preparing students as leaders in tomorrow’s world.

Our research department was created recently (2012) and at present comprises one director and one research coordinator. Research is conducted in five academic departments and eight eight centres and programmes.
